Lands Science

Within the Global Lands team, conservation sience underpins all our efforsts. Knowledge of what makes for successful conservation is continually evolving. At root, it is grounded by fundamental understanding of core ecological and socio-economic processes, as well as of how those processes respond to changing climates and management. The use of tried-and-tested analytical methods, such as landscape-level planning, environmental impact assessment and many others, provides a well-established toolkit for intervention that is scientifically robust.

More recently, major advances in remote sensing, conservation planning, and computer modeling are providing new tools to assess cumulative social and environmental impacts from a range of infrastructure developments. Based on hard evidence, we can make robust assessments across eco-regions to determine how cumulative impacts will affect plant and animal diversity and other variables long before any individual projects begin. Here we providedpublic access to those tools and data developed by our team to support our scientific efforts. In addition, publications associated with these tools or data are provided.
